All phone companies are required to allow competitors use their
infrastructure. Other phone companies have sprung up and done well -
there are two local phone companies in the KC area, only one has every
built a system to support their services. Cable companies can provide
every service a telco can. Satellite will, eventually, be a third
provider realm.

What you call a monopoly I obviously call a successful company.
Microsoft, AT&T why not IBM, Pepsi, and Hershey's?

While we're on the subject of you being a communist, how much extra
cash do you have each payday? Can you start sending some of that to me
as I'm often short on expendable funds and I'd like to be able to
visit the bar more often.
